Truths on Hell and Judgment - Emergent Lies - Part 1

I don't want to give Rob Bell much play here because of his open twisting of God's word, but this is based on answering his false teachings, and in a broader sense, those of the Emergent Church.  I wonder, what is the "Emergent" church emerging from?  The abyss perhaps?

Rick Warren, Emergents and Muslims

I had this same conversation in Egypt some years ago.  Our Egyptian driver insisted Christians, Jews and Muslims worship the same God.  I asked if Muslims believed Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins.  He was silent.  I explained Jesus Christ provides our Salvation, and Christians and Muslims don't worship the same God.  Allah is not YAHWEH, he is the ancient moon god of the Arab people.  And since Allah had no son, how can Christians and Muslims worship the same God?  Excellent video here.

The Restless Church - Part1A - We Are Too Milky

The Restless Church - Intro - The Fuel Project

The beginning of the latest great series of vids from the Fuel Project.  This speaks directly to what is missing in our churches, and what many in the church are looking for but can't find on Sunday.  Near the end of the video the discussion focuses on those who are "walking away" from their churches.  Count me as one of those.  I'm tired of messages full of milk, not meat.  I'm tired of the show that lacks heart, sincerity and passion.  To quote the Lord in Isaiah 1:9-20: 
Isa 1:9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
Isa 1:10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
Isa 1:11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
Isa 1:12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
Isa 1:13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
Isa 1:14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
Isa 1:15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
Isa 1:16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
Isa 1:17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
Isa 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Isa 1:19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
Isa 1:20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

Just a little background on the growth of Chrislam.  Christianity stands alone, or doesn't stand at all.  As the Anglican church embraces pagans, now Christian/Islam hybrid churches are popping up.  What I'd really like to know is who is providing the funding for these churches?  Good stuff here.

KNIGHT: Living in the devil of a time

 

A progress report from the CEO of sin and evil

The Washington Times

                

Given the sheer volume of bizarre cultural shifts just in the past few weeks, it’s time for another “if I were the devil” column.

If I were Beelzebub, I’d work to destroy Western civilization, because its chief religions, Christianity and Judaism, have a timeless book that reminds people of my existence. I’m most effective when unacknowledged.

To this end, I’m working to do away with institutions that are in the way of my goal of destroying humanity. These pesky confederations include churches, observant temples, private groups and governments that support so-called traditional values such as honor, fidelity in marriage, strong families, personal responsibility, civic pride, charity and patriotism.

When these things are compromised, I move on to the game board’s next square — economic freedom, which I cannot abide and which cannot thrive without the virtues imparted by those irritating groups just mentioned. For a look at one of my greatest successes, take a walk through what used to be Detroit.

Once free enterprise is broken to the saddle of the state, I can throttle freedom of speech, religion and association, using some of the giant corporations spawned in the unprecedented liberty created by America’s system of constitutional rights, including private property.

In fact, I used some of those firms just the other day to induce the Boy Scouts of America to commit suicide, one of my prized outcomes. Under corporate-donor pressure, the Scout leadership threw aside the common-sense rule preventing open expression of homosexuality. This pretty much did the trick in Canada. It may take a few years, but the Scouts in the United States are finished, believe me. If you like what you see in the inner cities among fatherless boys, you’ll thank me later.

For a look at where else I want to take the United States, let’s go to Great Britain, where much of America’s loathsome attachment to Christianity and individual liberty was birthed. Once-proud England is, thanks to my touch, a sea of churning resentments, entitlements, ethnic upheaval, crime and moral depravity. I hate to brag, but this is some of my best work.

Take the Girl Guides. They are the English version of the Girl Scouts, and were founded in 1910 with an oath that requires girls to love God and to serve “my queen and my country.” Not anymore. Under Chief Executive Julie Bentley, a former head of Britain’s Family Planning Association and self-proclaimed feminist, the reference to God has been replaced by a call to “be true to myself” (ah, the Imperial Self, my greatest invention, dating all the way back to Eden) and “develop my beliefs.” What beliefs? Who cares? Beliefs are in the mind of the beholder, and I’m here to spread confusion, not truth.

Another wonderful change is the Guides’ decision to change the vow to “serve my queen and my country” to a promise to “serve the queen and my community.” This is great on a number of levels, starting with the more antiseptic “the queen” instead of “my queen.” The transmutation of “my country” into “my community” is a masterpiece of political correctness, pandering to immigrant communities that stubbornly resist the British melting pot. Some of them are creating a separate legal system that removes their women from the protection of British law even as I polish my trident and indulge in a triumphant giggle.

Back to Scouting. In Canada, the same pattern is unfolding. The Girl Guides in 2010 changed their promise to be true “to myself, my God and Canada” — or “myself, my faith and Canada” — to “myself, my beliefs and Canada.” I want it even shorter — simply “myself” has a nice ring — but progress is progress.

In 1993, the Girl Scouts USA opened their leader ranks to lesbians and atheists and adopted a policy allowing girls to substitute “Allah” or “Buddha” or perhaps “Elvira” in the Girl Scout promise, “On my honor, I will try to serve God and my country.” Most of the girls and their local leaders peddling cookies are blissfully unaware of such fundamental ferment at the top, and I’m determined to keep it that way. So keep this under your hat, will you?

Other projects going smoothly include weeding Christians out of the U.S. armed forces, concentrating ever more power in Washington, D.C., through Obamacare, expanding the Infernal Revenue Service (no, it’s not a typo), opening the floodgates of pornography even wider, and pushing for universal preschool to get the tykes away from bothersome parents sooner.

Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be finishing up perhaps my most important project since World War II: Using the Supreme Court to wreck the most vital, irreplaceable institution in society — marriage. If I can persuade one more justice that the Constitution harbors the “right” to abolish marriage through radical redefinition, I can unleash the power of the state against all those “religious” folks who cling to their, well, religion.

But not all of them.

One of my subsidiaries, the Episcopal Church USA, is doing marvelous work muddying up what the Bible clearly says is right and wrong. I’m thinking of upping their budget to purchase a new, improved smoke machine.

As for you, reader, what has God done for you lately? Oh, his followers claim that He’s keeping you breathing, holding all of your very atoms in place and balancing the heavenly hosts so that life can thrive here on Earth — and that He sent His own Son to die for your sins and grant you eternal life.
Remember, though, He’s not as much fun as I am — or appear to be. I play on the keyboard of your sinful nature, and strive, unappreciated, to turn every heart into a black hole of self-centeredness, where that cursed light rarely penetrates or escapes.

So do me a favor. Get out of my way, and let the “good times” roll.

The Antichrist, Nimrod and the Coming Great Deception

This is just an appetizer from Rob Skiba, but he's got more.  I'll try to add the links I can rummage up below.  Good stuff.

 

 This is a brief video explaining more of the above topic titled "How Did The Nephilim Return Before The Flood?"
 

 This third clip is the identity of the Antichrist revealed, and follows with more details on the topic of the first video.  I like what he's done here because he doesn't run on modern Christian traditions but goes by Biblical history.  The results may be quite surprising...
 

Satanic Super Soldiers - Russ Dizdar w Jeff Rense

I had backed off a number of articles in recent weeks because of the effect I saw fear was having on other Christians. I don't want to be another propagator of fear on the net. However, some things are too powerful and true not to put out there. It's a longer interview, but well worth the listen. Jeff Rense has one of the largest internet followings out there, and Russ Dizdar had been involved in deliverance ministry for over thirty years. Pastor Dizdar is a tremendous spokesman for the victims of this satanic work. For those who are aware of the spiritual warfare that is occurring daily around us all, and those who want to know more, this is a must listen.

POPE says "ATHEISTS are going to HEAVEN"? Parts 1 & 2

I do have a soft spot in my heart for sarcasm that is based in the ignorance of men who deny God and His Son.  I see Elijah on Mt. Carmel mocking the prophets of Baal, telling them, "maybe your God is away on a trip, or maybe he's sleeping". 1 Kings 18:27)  Elijah must have enjoyed that.  Well done.

Rebuilding Israel's Temple Mount

By: Daniel Ben Simon for Al-Monitor Israel Pulse Posted on June 7.

I went to visit the Jewish Quarter in the Old City of Jerusalem to see how the preparations for the establishment of the new temple were getting on. For hundreds of Israelis, the task of renewing the temple has become the job of their lives. It is about time, so they believe, to establish the Third Temple in its proper place — right on the site where the First Temple and the Second Temple were once standing before being destroyed.

Yehuda Glick is one of the “elite soldiers of the temple” who dedicate their lives to the mission. Since moving to Israel, he has been preparing for the great day, waiting to see the construction of the edifice that is to become the holiest place on earth for the Jewish people. A black skullcap adorning his head, his Hebrew flavored by an Anglo-Saxon accent, Glick spends his time as a tourist guide, escorting visitors to the Temple Mount.

I met Yehuda at the entrance gate to the Temple Mount. There is no greater thrill in his life than to walk on the soil of the Temple Mount. While he has visited the place hundreds or even thousands of times,,  his heart still beats with excitement on each visit. “As far as I see it, an amazing divine move is manifested here,” he explained while we were waiting in line at the gate. “The state of Israel is a part of this divine move, which will culminate in the establishment of the Third Temple.”

How is it going to be built and who will build it? I asked him. A broad smile spread across his face. He may have felt sorry for me or, perhaps, considered the question to be out of place. “The notion that the Temple will be built by itself, under divine directions, is the sort of idea typical of Diaspora Jews,” my interlocutor noted. He had left New York for Israel at the age of 8, settling with his family in Otniel, south of Hebron. “When I started visiting the Temple Mount 15 years ago, you could hardly gather a minyan — the quorum — for prayer. These days, hundreds of thousands of Jews are coming to pray on the Temple Mount. They expect us to rebuild the temple, and God willing, it will be built.”

Hundreds of tourists, most of them Christians, were standing in line under the scorching sun, waiting for the security check that every visitor seeking entry to the Temple Mount is required to pass. Jews are not allowed to bring in scrolls of the Torah, prayer books, copies of the Book of Psalms or any other article of worship that could be used to establish a mystical association between the Temple Mount and the holy Jewish Scriptures. Under the current arrangements agreed on between Israel and the Kingdom of Jordan, Jews visiting the Temple Mount are banned from openly praying on the premises or swaying in worship. One single event of deviation from the set rules could be enough to spark an international incident.

In fact, precisely such an incident occurred while I was waiting at the entrance gate to the Temple Mount. All of a sudden, shouts were heard from inside the enclosure. The policemen standing on guard at the gate went on alert and hurried to lock it. It turned out that a Muslim worshipper accused an Israeli policeman of knocking down a Quran she was holding in her hands. She started yelling "Allahu Akbar!" and within minutes, dozens of worshippers at the scene rushed to her aid, and some of them even tried to attack the policeman. The Temple Mount was closed to visitors right away and the incident was promptly brought to the attention of the top echelons in Israel, the Palestinian leaders in the territories and the Jordanian king's palace.

The commanding officer in charge of the Temple Mount site told me that incidents of that kind were an everyday matter. “The policeman on duty reported that the worshipper had thrown down the book on purpose, to stir up a provocation and, needless to say, I believe him,” he said, adding: “Even a minor event is liable to trigger an international incident.”

As the gates to the Temple Mount were closed, Yehuda and I headed for the Jewish Quarter, where the Temple Institute is located. Hundreds of tourists visit the Temple Institute store daily to see at close hand the preparations for the establishment of the temple. “Fifty percent of the visitors are not Jewish,” recounted Reuven Cohen, the store manager, who immigrated to Israel from England 34 years ago. “The Jews are coming here to look for the roots of the temple, whereas the visiting evangelists are deeply involved in the establishment of the temple. They are well aware that their process of redemption is closely interwoven with ours. They actually believe that the path of return of Jesus Christ to this earth passes through our temple.”

The articles of worship intended for use in the new temple, once it is erected, are on display in the store. Kits that include guidelines for proper conduct in the holy site are offered for sale alongside a variety of jigsaw puzzles of the temple — some comprising 24 pieces, for 3-year-old children, and others of 100 pieces and even 1,000 pieces — for the older. Hundreds of books, neatly arranged on the shelves, tell the history of the temples — those that were destroyed and the one that is to be built. There are books on the sacred golden candelabrums, books on the houses that served the Jewish priests who performed their duties at the temple, and others on the ritual sacrifices and prayers, as well as on the way of life that will prevail in Israel after the temple is established.

“Last year we had 50,000 visitors,” David Schwartz, who heads the Temple Institute, proudly stated. “The ever-growing interest shown by tourists reflects the feeling that the days of the Messiah are around the corner. You can sense it in the air — in schools, in synagogues, even in the homes of the secular. Everyone feels it coming up.”

While we were talking, hundreds of visiting school students were wandering around the Institute, impressed by the sights. “Yes, that’s true,” Schwartz added. “As you can see, people are looking for meaning to life. They want to achieve something. We are currently at the stage of preparing people for the construction of the temple.”

On display, next to the architectural building plans, are models showing pilgrims getting down from the light rail at the temple gate station. Others are seen parking their cars in an underground garage to be built beneath the temple. Sophisticated elevators would transport the worshippers right into the temple.

Schwartz, Cohen and Glick are all confident that once the Third Temple is erected, the world will become a fundamentally different place. The Lord would then bestow on Earth great abundance and there would no longer be anyone in need of charity.

“Those who do not feel what is going to happen are either blind or stupid, or ungrateful,” Glick noted, clearly annoyed with me, having noticed the skeptical expression on my face. “There has never been anything like that in the history of the human race; the return of an exiled people to its homeland is unique in human annals. It is all written in the Torah. And the last, supreme stage will be the construction of the temple.”

However, there is one far from marginal factor left out. In all those plans and photographs and illustrations and puzzles and books put forward by the Jewish believers, the Third Temple is seen at the center of the Temple Mount, rising high up above it.

But there is no trace there of the Dome of the Rock, as if the earth had swallowed it up.

The Restless Church Trailer - The Fuel Project

I can't pass this up as it has two things I love, the fuel project and the beginning of their latest series titled "The Restless Church", and Jon Foreman of Switchfoot singing "Instead of a Show", a song quoting verses directly from Is. 1 and Amos 5.  We can see in this trailer warnings for the western churches (America, Western Europe) of three major threats:  the modernized church (exemplified in the emergent church and Joel Osteen), the fraudulent charismatics (Benny Hinn and those fakes who follow) and the traditional protestant and Roman church which is dead at heart, yet full of pride in it's traditions and self-righteousness.  May God bless us to give something away today, something that we hold onto but won't be coming with us to that great day we stand before our Lord in judgment.  Father God, prepare us for what's to come!

Science Confirms We Fringe: Who Runs the World?

Look, see how the globe is become a pretty shiny ball of progress through innernetz!

But the “elite” TED speaker still can’t use the “C” word

By: Jay

First, watch the TEDtalk lecture at the bottom.  If you recall, this study mentioned in the below lecture was going around the web, especially on “conspiracy” sites, a year or so ago.  What the study shows is the ownership of shareholders and corporate networks.  Now, while you think we live in a “free market” system under capitalism, the study shows we absolutely do not.  This is the siren song we fringe thinkers and researchers have been saying for years.  The speaker is right that perhaps the data in relations to systems analysis has not been analyzed before, but his conclusions are old hat to us in the reality community.

The transnationalist entities are linked and basically run the world.  The influence of the shareholders amounts to running the planet.  146 top players can control half the world’s wealth and resources.  To point this out is not “communism,” since I have shown numerous times that “communism” and “socialism” are not real movements, though the anti-establishment energy they channel is very real.  Communism and socialism are control mechanisms to divert anti-establishment furor into movements controlled by the transnationalist/globalist interests the TED talk speaker mentions at the bottom.  The speaker also fails to mention that all these top “TNCs” are behind the speakers who frequently appear on TED talks, like Bill Gates and Al Gore.

But keep in mind, they are not capitalists.  Capitalism always takes the blame for the machinations of entities that want to stamp it out.  They are not, strictly speaking, socialist, either.  Gore and Gates, for example, are billionaire monopoly capitalists that intend on imposing a Fabian technocratic socialism on everyone else, while ensuring privatization for the top.   In essence, we are under the worst system imaginable for 99% of the globe.  99% of the populace still cannot figure out that their whole spectrum of existence has been weaponized to rid them from the face of the earth.  Even the TED talk pseudo elites are unable to figure out the British model of divide and conquer eugenics that still runs the world.  I have tried and tried and tried to hammer this home to friends and readers, yet few have caught on.

The corporations the speaker mentions are actually the source of the Green Movement, originally an “anti-capitalist” strand that descends from Marx and Engels who were the first to write on the divorce of man from nature that was caused by “ownership” and “exploitation.”  Darwin can be thrown in as well, since the basis of Marxism was partly Darwinism, yet minus the Anglo racial superiority.  The “alienation” of man from a state of pure nature was supposed to be reconciled through the proletarian revolution, leading to the stage of universal state communism prior to libertarian freedom through the withering away of the state (in classical Marxism).  However, all of this morphed into the monstrosity we see today: corporate socialism, or fascism.  There are no longer any nation sates, only subsidiaries of the Tyrell Corporation and the Umbrella Corporation.

Further bad news I must bear is that the global agenda has been streamlined, as you can extrapolate from the speakers that frequent TED, as well as other “top players” he mentions.  The speaker even says it’s “not a conspiracy,” yet we know it is, and we have more credibility than he does, since we’ve been singing this tune for years!   They are going to kill 80-95% of the population, and in order to get there, the present system must explode.  I have written elsewhere about how the system feeds off of its own contrived crises, and in order for a global phoenix to rise from the ashes, the global economic order must crash.  “Psshha!” you say.  ‘These corporations stand to make too much money.  They’d never collapse their own system.”  Foolish young lad, the name of the game is not “money.”  The “money” is all based on a central bank fiat model: it’s not real.  And before you brush aside my claim that imploding their own system to create a new order out of the chaos as far-fetched, recall 9/11.  And after you recall 9/11, which was a sort of prelude to the coming era, consider entities like Enron, or the BCCI, which served the elite purposes, and then were imploded.  If you create the money, it’s no loss to your holdings to loot and plunder a front.
No, no, dear reader, the name of the game is death, not dollars. Megadeath, and I don’t mean the metal band.  Depopulation is the name of the game, and that will be accomplished after the present order has been demolished.  When it is demolished, there will be further regimented depopulation, with the goal of eventually achieving “sustainability,” which is the fraudulent “Green” term for basically no one.  The scientific socialist establishment that works for the “TNCs” will (in their minds) wipe out the false social constructs of “nations,” establishing their elite republic.  But that is a good ways down the road: in the meantime, fraud and corruption must run rampant, while all existing traditional orders (family, state, classical education, religion, etc.) are to be demolished through psy ops, infiltration and internal factionalism.

The green movement has even made its way into all the mainline religions–nevermind that its marching army is a bunch of former communists and Soviets, all marching to the tune of their corporate sponsors, with a horde of tree-huggers and hipsters at the bottom of the pyramid that can’t figure out what gender they want to be.  Maybe the SmartCity will choose your gender for you, if you’re not determined to be guilty of pre-crime, as the loving CEO of IBM has planned for you.  While you’re worried about your 401k and your petty football game, Megadeath is fast approaching.  Where will the cheerleaders be, then?  Will we still get our cappuccinos in green-friendly totes?  Dollars are old school, given that the implementation of the Internet was all along designed to move the world to a cashless control grid.  And you thought Bitcoin would save you.  I always ask hopeful innerwebz capitalists if they think DARPA and the Pentagon “gave” the world the Internet because they think they’re nice.  I think that question has not occurred to a lot of people.  Julian Assange was right when he said all the Internet *is* a huge spying and surveillance grid.  It was given to the masses for a reason: entrapment in that web, like a spider entraps its prey.  No, I must bear more bad news: Innerwebz was given to track and trace and store everything.  Everything.

While you watch your Pentagon-run news for idiots, you are being soft-killed
 

So, the system is not your friend, and it will not protect you or fix things, as things implode.  And before you call me a Marxist, dear baby boomer reader, remind yourself of what Quigley says down under.  Down under this sentence, that is.  Carroll Quigley.  You see, all this is why Dr. Carroll Quigley in his famous Tragedy and Hope said decades ago how the world system actually works, far predating this TED talk pseudo-elitist:

“The powers of financial capitalism had a far-reaching plan, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole… Their secret is that they have annexed from governments, monarchies, and republics the power to create the world’s money…”  -Ibid., pg. 324

And,

“It must not be felt that these heads of the world’s chief central banks were themselves substantive powers in world finance. They were not. Rather, they were the technicians and agents of the dominant investment bankers of their own countries, who had raised them up and were perfectly capable of throwing them down. The substantive financial powers of the world were in the hands of these investment bankers (also called “international” or “merchant” bankers) who remained largely behind the scenes in their own unincorporated private banks. These formed a system of international cooperation and national dominance which was more private, more powerful, and more secret than that of their agents in the central banks. This dominance of investment bankers was based on their control over the flows of credit and investment funds in their own countries and throughout the world. They could dominate the financial and industrial systems of their own countries by their influence over the flow of current funds through bank loans, the discount rate, and the re-discounting of commercial debts; they could dominate governments by their control over current government loans and the play of the international exchanges. Almost all of this power was exercised by the personal influence and prestige of men who had demonstrated their ability in the past to bring off successful financial coupe, to keep their word, to remain cool in a crisis, and to share their winning opportunities with their associates. In this system the Rothschilds had been preeminent during much of the nineteenth century, but, at the end of that century, they were being replaced by J. P. Morgan whose central office was in New York, although it was always operated as if it were in London (where it had, indeed, originated as George Peabody and Company in 1838).”



And,

“In effect, this creation of paper claims greater than the reserves available means that bankers were creating money out of nothing. The same thing could be done in another way, not by note-issuing banks but by deposit banks. Deposit bankers discovered that orders and checks drawn against deposits by depositors and given to third persons were often not cashed by the latter but were deposited to their own accounts. Thus there were no actual movements of funds, and payments were made simply by bookkeeping transactions on the accounts. Accordingly, it was necessary for the banker to keep on hand in actual money (gold, certificates, and notes) no more than the fraction of deposits likely to be drawn upon and cashed; the rest could be used for loans, and if these loans were made by creating a deposit for the borrower, who in turn would draw checks upon it rather than withdraw it in money, such “created deposits” or loans could also be covered adequately by retaining reserves to only a fraction of their value. Such created deposits also were a creation of money out of nothing, although bankers usually refused to express their actions, either note issuing or deposit lending, in these terms. William Paterson, however, on obtaining the charter of the Bank of England in 1694, to use the moneys he had won in privateering, said, “The Bank hath benefit of interest on all moneys which it creates out of nothing.” This was repeated by Sir Edward Holden, founder of the Midland Bank, on December 18, 1907, and is, of course, generally admitted today.” -Ibid, 48-9

Wake Up Church! - David Wilkerson

Is it any wonder that Jesus asked concerning the time of His return, "will the Son of Man find faith on the Earth?"   (Luke 18:8)  God is calling His people to come out, to come out of the world, to come out of the Babylon world system.  Let's fight hard in prayer and persistence to come out!

The Dangers and Origin of the Emergent Cult (Church?)

This first video shows how the "modernized" gospel commonly seen in emergent churches is not a gospel at all, but a heresy more reminiscent of a cult than the gospel of Jesus Christ. I humble state that the emergent church ideals pose the greatest threat to the church in America today.  The emergent church focuses on being "seeker friendly", yet seem to always be only pieces of the true gospel, never the whole.  Good stuff here.


This second video is from the late Dr. Francis Schaeffer, sometimes called the "weeping prophet".  He spoke passionately in the 60's, 70's and 80's of the need for the true church to come together, witness to the lost, and use every avenue available to further the gospel.  Good stuff, to be sure.
